If you check out any video of Bill Clinton in a crowd, you will notice something remarkable. Whenever he shakes hands with a person, he gives that person his 100% attention, ignoring everybody else.
For those few moments, that person would feel like the most important person in the world for Clinton. This was one of the things that made him so famously charming.
But this is such a simple thing that we can all do it.
Whether talking to our colleagues, parents, or even strangers – give them your undivided attention, even if for just a few moments. WhatsApp can be checked later. The email can wait. The person in front of us is the VIP.
People may forget what we did for them but they will remember that we attended to them like they mattered. And if people don’t matter, what else possibly can?
